What's the most scared you've been for your own personal safety?

Honestly my dad scared me the most. He just didn't care and didn't understand about how I felt at all. One time we were in the forest and we found a bunker ( there's a lot of bunkers in Switzerland) and we went inside and he was like let's close the door and I was like fuck no! The door probably weighs 2 fucking tons and if anything gets stuck we're not getting out of there and we're in the middle of the forest where nobody walks through. Or he left me to watch tv in the middle of a mall when I was like 6 and went shopping for an hour I don't know exactly when he came back and noticed I was gone. Then he wondered why I got scared and went to the reception and told them I lost my dad.

One time he told me to play catcher for grown ups when I was like 4 years old they were playing slow pitch and I got hit in the head with a ball. I wasn't scared then because I didn't see the ball coming I was daydreaming but you get the point he was the biggest danger and his father who let me fall off the upper bunkbed as a baby.

Other than my dad not giving a fuck I've never been scared for my safety. I live in a very safe country with good people around me and I'm not scared anything is going to happen to me.

Recently at my job, there is a hill and this is at a park. Im the only security guard and if something bad happens... call a park ranger. I recently told a guy an hour ago he has to go. He had a black shirt on, this is important.

I go out an hour later and see 8 mofos on the hill. But i wear red glasses to see better. So what I saw was three boys... with black on. The guy was pissed and snippy and swearing at me when he left. So what my mind said, he is back and he's gonna stab you. He's waiting for you.

:)... nope calling the park rangers. turns out it was just three boys... not associated with that man.

Probably when I was walking along the sidewalk in the early morning when I was about 16, and a guy who spoke in Portuguese was trailing right next to me in his car and saying stuff to me. I turned into a condo building and he followed me all the way to the back door. Luckily someone was waiting on me and we were able to close the door immediately and then he left after that.

Really not sure. Have had quite a few scenarios where I could have been scared and most would... like when people approach me asking for something, but I tend to respond with love/consideration or humor, which seems to spin the scenarios. People feed off of energy... give them good energy and they may be convinced to respond in kind. Most people... are reasonable.

There are people whom are not, whom are intent on evil. If you expose negative emotions like fear, weakness... they are no different than a wild animal and will pounce to take, destroy and fulfill their selfish desires. Thus, you have to keep your energy up (God/strength, etc..) and options open.

In personal relationships, it could be worse because people will expose their "worst" in within the relationship.

When I was in my 30's I was doing car repossessions for a living. Me and my coworker were out in the bad part of the city and we spotted a car that we couldn't get for weeks. While we were hooking up the car a group of big guys came running out of the house with guns. My coworker saw them first and said get in the truck. I wanted to make sure the car was secure so I took a minute longer. He started taking off before I got in the truck. I jumped on the back of the truck as he was driving off. I felt something hit my shoulder as we drove off. Then they started shooting. A bullet nicked my ear and went through the back window of the truck.
That was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. But we got the car.

As a kid in a hospital. Kids don’t really have rights even less so in a hospitals and everyone just assumed drs are helpful whilst many are blood thirsty narcissists and kids are dumb liars. It’s prison but no yard time plus you’re worried about your health & have no control over anything being done or not done about it. Never want to be in that situation again ever.

As a young teen I was with the wrong crowd and ended up getting shot at. The bullets came pretty close to my head. I ended up ducking behind a car than ran home while the guys I was with chased after them. I never hung around that crowd again and have been afraid of guns ever since.

My sisters were making threats towards me. Threats to harm me, and they found out where and when I was attending an appointment with the mental health team. I remember, walking to my appointment and constantly looking over my shoulder, especially when I seen this vehicle pull up behind me and the driver got out their phone. They have both prior to this came to my home making threats.

As an adult, nothing that I can remember. And I walked through dozens of very large foreign cities at night.
As a child, I remember we had two or three „special needs“ children in the town. Chances were you got beaten up, if you encountered them on the street.

Probably when my ex shoved me with force and threw a portable fan at the door to the point it broke into pieces, behind closed doors at a destination wedding where I didn’t know much people , I have 1,000 miles away from home , and weirdly only wanted to be around him after he did that to me because I didn’t trust anyone around me at that wedding. It was the most trapping feeling I think I ever experienced

LiamJHayden · Answer

I think it was when I was 16 and lying in the street with my right tibia sticking partially out after getting hit by a car in a crosswalk.

I have not yet been in fear of my personal safety from direct confrontation or under threat by a person or person (s).

Had the nose gear in a small single engine plane collapse on landing, prop struck the runway, but I managed to stop the skidding plane somehow. Trashed the plane but no fire.

I walked away from it - so it was technically a "good landing".

Once working at a laundromat this guy put his cellphone on the floor to charge it I was cleaning up didn't see his phone ran it over with a laundry cart by mistake, the guy started to get physical and I was in no position to fight. In the end thankfully it all worked out. Please people don't leave your stuff unattended in public where it might be lost damaged or stolen.

CCammiee14 · Answer

Anytime I have generally feared for my safety is is when my dad used to scream at us. It was never when I was actually being beat. When I was hit, I was just angry and would fight back, but when it was just screaming? It's the anxiety of waiting for it to escalate that made me shiver.

Seeing a dark gray cloud directly above me rotating - but didn’t start falling - I was saying Please God don’t let this thing fall and turn into a tornado. The wind was slow then it picked up speed. I heard that it did drop into a tornado - 20 miles away. I am Very Very grateful that He heard me and didn’t let it happen where I was. 🙏👍❤️🙂

During archery practice a high schooler threatened to slit my throat if i didn't stop cheering on my friend. I didn't know what to do and just waited for a coach to come close and run. When I did, he didn't go after me instead he bolted to the bathroom. When the coach searched him he didn't have a knife, but it turned out he was just bluffing. IT STILL SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME! He was suspended and i haven't seen him since.

When my workplace got robbed. I wasn't there for it, but I saw the CCTV footage of my friend with a gun to her head. One of the guys still hasn't been found and it stays in the back of my mind of what if he comes back.

In college I had a guy stalking me after meeting him in the club. He would follow me on campus and I'd see him following me around town too.

My family, and a crazy ex of my brother.  But feeling unsafe at home is such a horrible feeling, because at the end of your day you have to go back to that house. That feeling sucked. Glad it's over.
